I weigh in my pjs....because the scale is in the hall and I have 3 teenage sons...weighing in nude is not an option!
I think as long as you are consistent....doesn't really matter.0 -
nothing done when nude is wrong
cooking bacon.
maybe not wrong, per se....but painful.0 -
And you get to decide what is right and wrong because . . . . ?
I'm sorry, but this is a really dumb thing to have a conversation about.0 -
nothing done when nude is wrong
Giving your mom/grandma a hug?
Babysitting little nieces and/or nephews?
Volunteering in a hospital?
Etc...0 -
NAAAAKED!
Always naked!
Just 'cause.0 -
I don't care what the doctor's scale or any other scale says. I'm only interested in my scale at home. Weigh myself same time of day and underwear only. Any fluctuation within 2-3lbs difference doesn't bother me anyways.0

This is a ridiculous topic but its Friday so I get it.
Just wanted to say congrats on your progress, fantastic work!0 -
Still going to stick with the naked option. I like being naked though.0

That seems like a lot of work for something so trivial.0

I weigh in my underwear. The nurse always looks a little ill at ease, but pffffft, I don't care!
Me thinks you want the nurse to get all hot and bothered. Nurse fetish much? :laugh:0 -

I weigh in the nude, same scale, every week, and I don't go off other scales, because they are not the norm for me. I'm glad the doctor weighs me at more or less, because it rolls off my back, it's not my normal scale, or normal time of day, on my day that I weigh in, so I don't record it anyways.0

My doctor has never wanted to weigh me. Should I demand she does next time I go in with a sore throat?
I weigh on the same scale at the same time each week naked. I'm not massively obsessed by my weight anyway, it goes up and down a bit through the month for various reasons, a downward trend and my clothes fitting better is a good enough indicator that I'm on track.0 -
How do you weigh yourself?
Personally, I think weighing yourself in the nude is a recipe for disappointment. First off, scales vary! So if you go to another scale, it's probably going to read a pound one way or another. Second and most importantly, unless your doctor's office is different than anyone I have been to in the past 20 years, they weigh you first with your clothes on before you go into the smaller waiting room. So that's bound to bug people who are trying to lose.
Even at work, we were doing what we called a "Fat Off" and we always have to weigh with our clothes on. So it made not sense for me to weigh myself nude if every other weigh-in I did outside of my home was going to be with clothes.
So my tip... find something that weighs as much as your typical outfit. And then if you want to weigh in nude/undies you can use this extra device to make up your clothing difference. I use a low pulley row handle from my gym, it happens to weigh about 4lbs and I weighed my typical outfit and it also weighed about 4lbs.
The reason I brought this up, is I have heard complaints from people about their weigh-ins outside of their home. I would still try and weigh in at the same time anytime you do, otherwise you will run into differences. But the idea here is that you would limit the difference to a small margin.
If you disagree, let me know why?
I weigh at home on my own scale so I don't worry about fluctuations from clothing. If i have to weigh on a Dr.s scale, I don't take that as my true weight. Problem solved.0 -
See this is why I insist that my doctor weight me whilst I am naked.
